Rainier Scholars – Tacoma
We launched our new Tacoma program in June 2022 and are thrilled to offer in-person and virtual opportunities to experience Rainier Scholars – Tacoma.
In-Person Option
Community Dinner & Workshop
Tacoma’s in-person tours offer a glimpse into how we engage the whole family. Each month, scholars and families come together for a community dinner, then split up for workshops themed around areas of empowerment (parents/guardians) and what it takes to be successful (scholars).
Dates
Every 3rd Saturday, Sept-May (except Feb), beginning November 19, 2022
Location
First Creek Middle School, 1801 E 56th St, Tacoma, WA 98404
Time
4:45pm-6:15pm
Virtual Option
Literature/Conclave Class
The virtual option offers an opportunity to observe our weekly Literature/Conclave class, where scholars discuss their reading for the week and unpack larger themes of what it means to belong, what makes people strong and what keeps people from being themselves.
Dates
2nd Tuesday of each month (except April), beginning November 8, 2022
Time
5:50pm-6:40pm
